Files Infor not detected in SD (Proteus Simulation)

Dear all,

I used below examples but files Infor not detected. Use winimage for sd card image in Proteus Simulation

/*
SD card test

This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the'
SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not.

The circuit:

  • SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
    ** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
    ** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
    ** CLK - pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
    ** CS - depends on your SD card shield or module.
    Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples

And? This is the Arduino forum, not the Proteus Simulator forum. You'd be better off asking there.

I ran into trouble using Proteus and the SdFat library. I eventually figured out that Proteus doesn't actually present a true SDCard, it's an old style MMC card which does not respond to the same initialization sequence.

That said, my issue manifested in the begin() routine of SdFat which, at quick glance, looks like it should fail in Sd2Card.init() if you are having the same issue.

Anyway, it's possible to put a hack into the library to make an MMC card work if you want to check to see if that is your issue. There's an article on the matter here:

Dear all,

thanks all!

Have one more question, could anybody tell me the different of SD1 SD2 and SDHC when getting card infor in arduino?

@monte_carlo_ecm
You are the man... Thanks for sharing the links that will probably resolve my issues of reading card with proteus.

Here is the video how the Arduino working inside Proteus reading/writing SDcard...The files are actually generated and written though its a simulation...

With SD library Proteus works fine now with MMC...I wonder someone now hack SDFat to work with Proteus...I am Not a good programmer...
